Here is an open discussion thread for one of the true legends of metal....Ozzy Osbourne. If you don't know who he is, something is wrong. Especially since he is currently enjoying great fame due to the success of his MTV shows "The Osbournes" and "Battle for Ozzfest". Some may say he has sold out, but it doesn't mean we can't enjoy his contributions to metal.

Over the years, Ozzy has had some great guitar players under his belt. Players such as Randy Rhoads, who died tragically in a plane crash on March 19, 1982. He also had Jake E. Lee and his current player, Zakk Wylde...also of Black Label Society fame.

Feel free to share your thoughts on Ozzy, good or bad, just be sure to stay on topic and no spamming.

My stepdads obsessed with him.. he has every single cd and record hes ever made lol.
He's not bad but when you've been overdosed on him like I have... eurgh.
I prefer Dio in black sabbath, but I think his best work was in black sabbath too.

Ozzy is a tough one on me. He's the prince of darkness and most well-known icon in metal. He is also incredibly over rated! I like him in the late 70's and 80's. He's old now, I don't think he should make anymore albums, but instead just throw concerts playing his old stuff, I mean come on, thats what majority wants to hear from him live anymore right?

Not true, I enjoyed the first 3 tracks on his new album (unfortunately save for 1 or 2 other songs the rest of the album was pretty unexciting). I don't think hes overrated because I don't think hes celebrated very much for his current stuff but hes still held in reverence because of the influences him and his old band made (Black something or other...). I mean, I talk to people who really like his new stuff, but I don't think hes overrated because I don't hear people talking about how genius his new music is or anything.

I don't find him overrated either for pretty much the same reasons as Dr.Rock. I like most of the songs on his new album, but I'm not too fond of the Black Sabbath stuff

Ozzy is great but I prefer his older stuff with Black Sabbath back in the 70s and most of his 80s stuff. He is kind of old now and he should be playing concerts for his old stuff and stop making new albums because that is what I would prefer to hear

Bahaha.

As previously stated, even his new albums have 3 or 4 songs that are good, and in my opinion its worth it.

I've been meaning to buy 'Blizzard of Ozz' for some time but haven't ever got around to it. I'd get it for the song "Mr.Crowley" alone. Can anyone comment on the album as a whole?

Diary of a Madman is my favorite Ozzy album, with Blizzard of Oz being my second. When I bought Blizzard, I was already tired of Crazy Train because I had listened to it thousands of times. Diary has two of my favorite songs by him - Over the Mountain and Flying High Again.

Yeah, I understand, that's his most popular song. But I think songs like 'Mr.Crowley';'Suicide Solution'; and 'Goodbye to Romance' are all better than that one. I'll look into his second album, I'm not as familiar with it.

mmm...i only half agree with that simply because ozzy couldnt handle any of the duties that sharon does. but the fact that sharon manages ozzys shit doesnt change the fact that shes a royal bitch.

Oh no doubt there will be celebrations when she croaks in a few centuries (because we all know shes going to outlive all of us, regardless of that bullshit 'Suicide Pact' she has with Ozzy). But honestly Ozzy would probably be dead now if it wasn't for her.

I think the commercials were rather well done and they made me laugh, which is the point isn't it?

Despite what people may think, its probably more of a strategic image move rather than a money issue for him at this point. He hasn't got much press recently and its a way for him to go "hey I'm still here."

Besides, he will never be as bad as Gene Simmons at whoring his image out.

yeah gene simmons is a whore. always was, always will be.

yeah the commercials were funny, but the last thing i need to see while watching shitty television is ozzy endorsing world of warcraft? i mean come on, the one where hes endorsing samsung is funny. but WoW is just bad. Mr. fucking T did a WoW commercial...

and if he really wants to say "im still here", he should write some killer music and one up Dio and Heaven and Hell. wouldnt that be how you would go about a comeback? upstaging your rival?

I have played WoW for years (admittedly too much in the first couple years), and I found it just as hilarious as any of the other WoW commercials and reflective of the designers' sense of humor. The commercials with Mr. T and the guy from the Sopranos made me go O_o, but the Ozzy, Shatner, and Mini-Me commercials were great.

As for him trying to go "I'm still here," its less about a comeback and more about just keeping your face out there so that when you DO something people won't think "who the hell is this guy?" or "why haven't I seen him in forever?" I know it sounds weird, but thats how show business works
